More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Death, like a host, comes smiling to the door Smiling, he greets us, on that tranquil shore Where neither piping bird nor peeping dawn Disturbs the eternal sleep, But in the stillness far withdrawn Our dreamless rest for evermore we keep.
Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Truth in spirit, not truth to the letter, is the true veracity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man lives to any considerable age, it can not be denied that he laments his imprudences, but I notice he often laments his youth a deal more bitterly and with a more genuine intonation.
Robert Louis Stevenson
But that is the object of long living, that man should cease to care about life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.
Robert Louis Stevenson
But even if we take matrimony at its lowest, even if we regard it as no more than a sort of friendship recognised by the police, there must be degrees in the freedom and sympathy realised, and some principle to guide simple folk in their selection.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There comes an end to all things the most capacious measure is filled at last and this brief condescension to evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul.
Robert Louis Stevenson
As if a man's soul were not too small to begin with, they have dwarfed an narrowed theirs by a life of all work and no play until here they are at forty, with a listless attention, a mind vacant of all material of amusement, and not one thought to rub against another, while they wait for the train.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Away with funeral music-set The pipe to powerful lips- The cup of life's for him that drinks And not for him that sips.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Things looked at patiently from one side after another generally end by showing a side that is beautiful.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is not enough to be ready to go where duty calls. A man should stand around where he can hear the call!
Robert Louis Stevenson
In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I've a grand memory for forgetting.
Robert Louis Stevenson
